Forecast Discussion:

There is not a whole lot of change to talk about in the weather over the next couple of days, with high temperatures in the low 90s and some afternoon breezes. The system we are watching that will impact our weather is currently about 1,000 miles off the coast of the Pacific Northwest. This system will move east/northeast, with the tail-end of the trough brushing through Arizona Sunday into Monday. The main impact from this system will be gusty southwesterly winds of 15-25mph on Sunday.

When it comes to air quality, PM-10 is forecast to rise into the Moderate AQI category on Sunday with the stronger winds.

Have a great Thursday!
